Team Ninja discusses the violence of Ninja Gaiden 3
A portion of a Siliconera interview with Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi...
S: When we were talking at E3, we discussed the consequences of violence. The latest build has characters that run away from Ryu after seeing their friends fall at the hands of Ryu’s blade.
Yosuke Hayashi, Team Ninja Head: When we were thinking about what to do in Ninja Gaiden 3 and the future of action games, we didn’t think about having longer combos with more hits or adding more weapons. In order to make an action game that appeals to adults, we needed to have action and emotion. Something that would make a mature audience get out of the game and into the experience.
